  PAN CLASSIC CRIME - With an introduction by Robert GoddardNicholas Marlow travelled to Milan to work at a time when political consciousness was raw and uncompromising. He left much sooner than he had intended. Marlow was no politician, merely an engineer. But the firm he worked for produced shell cases, and the shells were the instruments of war. In the circumstances disengagement was an impossibility and Marlow rapidly found himself a pawn in a subtle, ferocious power struggle.

  Nicky Marlow needs a job. He's engaged to be married and the employment market in Britain in 1937 is pretty slim. So when his fiancee points out the position with an English armaments manufacturer in Italy, he jumps at the chance. Soon after he arrives, however, he learns the sinister truth about his predecessor's departure and finds himself courted by two agents with dangerously different agendas. In the process, Marlow realizes that it's not so simple just to do the job he's paid for - not in fascist Italy, on the eve of a world war.
